Gudvangen 2018 part 1
Time to go back to one of my favourite places in the world! Gudvangen, Norway! Every year in juli the Gudvangen viking market is held so me and some friend did the very long drive there pasing lakes, crossing mountains and driving though horrible long tunnels! A beutiful but hard road to drive but then you get to see the deep fjords. Such amaze!
Now we will have this wiev for a week or so, not painful at all!
Next morning I woke up in my van to this and started setting up the tent.
Mountains on all sides and a glaciar river going through the village. Very cold.
All set for the viking market! -

Tönsberg viking market 2017
First time selling fabrics in Tönsberg vikinga market in Norway and it rained alot! xD
They had some viking boats in the harbour during the market. They also had a big boat making workshop on the market place. They where building a replica of the Klåstadship . Here they have also build the Saga oseberg ship, a replica of the oseberg ship. More about it here:
Now thats a contrast!
Rainy rainy…Tuvalie fix!
Pretty sick of the rain!
Yeah this was a mess… In the evening when we went to to market feast, it rained so much during just one hour, that my tent colapsed!
Thank you all for this season! See you next year! <3 -
Oslo museum trip
After we went to Oslo viking ship museum we went just a few 100m away to te folkemuseum (folk museum). Its a outdoors museum that have alot of buildings from different time periods but its also a indoor museum with clothing and furniture.
Male outfit, early 1800s. wool coat, wool or cotton waistcoat and (probably) chamois leather pants with very pretty embroidery.
18th century shoes, embroidered silk.
Womens undergarments late 19th century.
Fabric press cabinet.
Part of a shirt 1800-1850. Intresting gores on the shoulders!
Loose collar to wear over a deep necklined shift. Very practical when you dont want to wash to much!
I looove this one!! Its a yarn basket. It lookes like viking age but its not! Its says; probably 1500-1700s, from Seljord in Telemark.
Copy of a church chair in Tyldal church in Hedmark, 1150s
This is Gol stave church. It is actually moved here all the way from Gol, wich we passed on the way down from Gudvangen.

Borgund stavchurch
My first stavechurch! Its has been a dream to see them! 😀 I love old buildings but these are my favourite. Borgund church is built about 1180, but the viking style was stil going strong.
Viking style animal heads
The wood looks so pretty after all these years of tear down and tar! I wouldnt mind a house like that.. -

Gudvangen 2016
Now we are going to go on a trip we both have been longing for a long time. We are going up to the viking market in gudvangen! Im so exited to se the fjords and take alot of pictures!!From Uppsala to Gudvangen is a very long drive so we divided it. First we slept in Karlstad one night and then we drove past Olso until we felt tired at started searching for a place to camp for night.Just a stop for leg stretching! Already getting more beautiful!
We managed to find a tiny gravel road to stay for the night and set up a tent. Love the view! Feels like Jämtland, my home county!
